Soup is the ultimate comfort food. fun fact about me? Sushi is actually my greatest comfort food. Super weird, right? It could be 7 am + sushi sounds delicious.

When I decided to stop eating fish, sushi was something I worried, ok panicked, that I was going to miss. I soon realized it was the flavors that I loved so much. The spicy wasabi, strong ginger + oh so salty soy sauce – say that ten times- was enough to make vegan vegetable rolls satisfying.

But if you’re a sushi lover, chances are you love miso soup as well. This recipe is my take on miso soup, but I kicked it up a notch + made a meal through the addition of mushrooms, spinach + soba noodles.

Soba noodles are buckwheat noodles that pack a decent protein punch. If you’re not a tofu fan- the noodle soup could stand alone.

Further Food Commentary:

Tofu is a excellent vegetarian source of high-quality protein and iron. Although many soy products are high in iron, it is not well absorbed. Absorption can be improved by adding foods high in vitamin C to the meal. Tofu is also a good source of B vitamins, calcium, potassium, zinc and other minerals. It is low in calories and fat. Tofu may also protect against heart disease and some forms of cancer. Beware of the sodium amount in this recipe for those who have hypertension.
